@dailynews528: A million pounds of rebar and 3,000 cubic yards of concrete. In one week. Chief Justice John Roberts has let construction of the White House ballroom continue for now. The injunction that would have stopped above-ground work was due to take effect today. An administrative stay of this kind decides nothing about the case itself; it holds the situation in place while the court considers the government's request. The dispute began when Trump had the East Wing demolished in October 2025 to make room for a 90,000-square-foot ballroom. In March, District Judge Richard Leon ruled that only Congress can authorize it, writing that the president is the steward of the White House for future First Families and "not, however, the owner." Leon explicitly allowed underground work to continue, including bunkers and security installations. On August 7 the appeals court upheld him 2 to 1, with the majority saying a ballroom of that size is for Congress to decide, not a matter for executive self-help. The government calls the project an integrated military complex vital to national security. The National Trust says the administration is trying to outrun the courts, pointing to a million pounds of rebar and 3,000 cubic yards of concrete scheduled for a single week. This is a developing story: the court has not yet said whether it will take the case, and today's order can be replaced at any time. #fyp #breakingnews #trump #whitehouseballroom #supremecourt
